Broadband InfoVision Awards 2010 winners
information and quotes

Category 1 - Best New Service

Irish firm Dial2Do's HandsFreeAssistant service is a productivity
service that enables drivers to get more done, safely, while driving,
including sending a text message, listening to an email, updating
Twitter, and accessing Google Calendar and Remember the Milk. The
service currently has access to over forty services, and is signing up
new partners all the time.

"We've taken a voice service with a lot of functionality, and simplified
it so that anyone can use it, and bundled it with consumer electronics
from our headset and hands-free partners," said Sean O'Sullivan, CTO of
Dial2Do. "It's a genuine win-win for us, for the equipment partner and
for the consumer, and is a little bit innovative in the market today."

Category 2 - Broadband Access Network Technologies and Services

Huawei's SingleRAN@Broad solution is designed to enable operators
to meet various combinations of global challenges, and resolves three
key challenges for mobile broadband operators - enhancing Average
Revenue Per User (ARPU), increasing network capacity, and reducing costs
in the construction, operation and maintenance of networks.

Category 3 - Broadband Network and Services Management and Operations

BT Wholesale describes its DLM Process as ensuring that broadband
lines perform to their maximum capabilities, by adding its own
innovations to the industry-wide DLM capability, including: patenting
its family of algorithms which sit behind its DLM process; patenting its
'Flapping Line Algorithm for the DLM Process', which can change a line
profile within 15 minutes of a broadband installation; keeping the B-RAS
profile in step with the line rate using ‘Adaptive Max Logic’; and using
historical information about a line's performance prior to end-user
installation.

"BT Wholesale set itself an incredibly challenging objective," said
Cameron Rejali, Managing Director of Products at BT Wholesale. "Its goal
is to push broadband speed to the very limit of the technology while
maintaining a good customer experience and a low fault rate - and to
achieve this over a network where the environmental conditions (noise
etc.) are extremely demanding and variable. BT’s continued, and
innovative, investment in DLM is ensuring it provides the best service
possible."

Category 4 - Content, Entertainment, Applications and Services

TV Genius won this award for its Content Delivery Platform and
Relevance Engine, which enhances the TV experience with personalised
search options, providing relevant recommendations across TV, mobile and
the Web. The Content Discovery Platform aims to provide deeper, richer
content aggregation, allowing viewers to discover programming from a
variety of sources, with suggestions made according to individual
preferences.

"Multichannel services are now the norm in most European households and
catch-up TV and VOD are now more widely accepted among viewers," said
Tom Weiss, CEO of TV Genius. "Coupled with the rise of OTT video, the
content landscape has become extremely congested and consumers are
finding it hard to discover programming beyond what is familiar to them,
or what is ‘pushed’ to them (via advertising, for example). Search &
Recommendation technology allows people to find the content they are
really interested in and introduces new shows to them based around their
likes and dislikes. It is about pushing content to people that they
would not otherwise find."

Technicolor's Media Touch 2 is a Wi-Fi media tablet with IPTV
capabilities, based on the Android operating system which gives it
access to a continually evolving library of third party apps, as well as
integrating all the elements of the network provider’s service offering
in a single device. It features high-quality audio as well as a
high-resolution touch screen, making it ideal for watching video
content, either streamed from the network or accessed from local storage
in the home hub. Users can watch video or enjoy music wherever they are.
The Media Touch also has a picture frame function, and includes a camera
and microphone, allowing it to be used for video conferencing,
video/audio chat services, and voice over IP telephony.

"The role of the Media Touch 2 is to enable network operators to
introduce new and diverse services which are immediately appealing to
the consumer," said Junbiao Zhang, Vice President of the Media Tablet
business unit, Connect Division at Technicolor. "Its programmability
makes it easy for operators to target specific content and applications
to individual users and groups, in a way which makes it easy for them to
adopt them. This was the reason that the first generation of the Media
Touch product line has been adopted by PCCW, the premium
telecommunications provider in Hong Kong and a world-class pioneer in
new technologies. We look forward to the continued success with our more
powerful, user friendly and flexible Media Touch 2 product in PCCW."

Category 6 - Enabling Silicon and Component-Level Technologies

Junos Trio is a new purpose-built silicon chipset developed by Juniper
Networks, based on an advanced network instruction set designed and
optimised for the next-generation services edge. This chipset
dramatically improves business economics with its dynamic 3D scaling for
bandwidth, subscribers, and services, enabling a truly converged
platform with exceptional power efficiency. It also provides improved
performance, scalability and flexibility. Its fully programmable engine
makes it highly extensible while enabling service innovation with
superior end-user quality of experience.

"Junos Trio is a programmable silicone, it is a foundation for the
ultimate goal at service provider service delivery point; the Universal
Edge," said David Noguer Bau, Head of Carrier Ethernet & Multiplay
Marketing at Juniper Networks. "Universal Edge will drive the ultimate
network convergence for Residential, Enterprise and Wireless services,
but requires a long list of features to be implemented, and Junos Trio
with its Network Instruction Set and its 3D scalability can achieve
that."

Category 7 - Core & MetroNetwork Innovation and Advances

Ciena's 100G coherent optical solution enables operators to
increase the bandwidth of their existing 10G and 40G fibre
infrastructure by 10 and 2.5 times respectively through simple
plug-and-play technology components – without the need to re-engineer
their networks or deploy new equipment. To create this solution, Ciena’s
R&D team developed a world-leading set of technologies around high-speed
networking, leveraging the innovative use of wireless-inspired
modulation schemes, the power of digital signal processing and advanced
digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, the world’s first
optical coherent receiver, and high-performance forward error correction.

"With more and more people consuming services delivered via IP, the
networks that power them are increasingly pushed to the limits," said
Tom Mock, Senior Vice President Corporate Marketing and Communications
at Ciena. "Without continuous investment and expansion, their limited
capacity will become depleted. Ciena's 100G solution effectively enables
that capacity to increase tremendously, helping to clear the network
‘highways’ of congestion even before the jams start."

Category 8 - Green Broadband Awards

ZTE’s ZXA10 C300 multi-service optical access platform (OLT) is a
“one size fits all” platform offering key benefits to any operator
looking for a green and future proof solution with lower total cost of
ownership. It embraces many capabilities to reduce power consumption
which will have a direct impact on the carbon footprint of
telecommunications networks. Based on studies conducted by ZTE R&D labs,
it demonstrated versatile power management, delivering power savings of
up to 41%.

Category 9 - Broadband Innovation of the Year

Alcatel-Lucent's innovations in the area of Phantom Mode help
boost the capabilities of copper-based DSL networks by creating a third
virtual pair on top of two physical pairs. Although Phantom Mode is a
well-known analogue concept, and has been used by operators before,
Alcatel-Lucent's implementation is reportedly the first time the Phantom
Mode concept has been combined with VDSL2 Vectoring and Bonding to
demonstrate impressive bitrates.

"With Alcatel-Lucent’s standards-based innovation, the existing copper
plant can facilitate 300 Mb/s over 2 pairs at 400 meters – or even
900Mbps and up, if 4 or more pairs are available. This allows operators
to re-use their existing copper infrastructure to deliver very high
speed broadband services over DSL until Fibre-to-the-Home is deployed to
these subscribers," commented Sanjay Patel, CTO of Alcatel-Lucent's
Wireline Division.

Category 10 - Changing Lives Awards

On 2 December 2009, Telstra announced the completion of one
of Australia's largest optic fibre and broadband infrastructure projects
undertaken in recent times - the Arnhem Land Fibre Project. Declared an
Aboriginal Reserve in 1931, Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory is
best known for the strong continuing traditions of its indigenous
inhabitants, its art and its remoteness. The project saw over 800km of
fibre optic cable laid across fragile terrain, in difficult climatic
conditions between Jabiru and Nhulunbuy.

"The AUD 34mn investment in Arnhem Land, a joint venture between
Telstra, Rio Tinto Alcan and the Northern Territory Government and
achieved with the valuable support of the Northern Land Council, is also
an investment in local Arnhem Land communities – their health, safety,
education and entertainment," said John Gibbs, Executive Director
Network Construction at Telstra Corporation. "For example the Northern
Territory Government can now use this technology to deliver
life-changing services across this region of Australia, significantly
improving access to health, education, justice and business services
which all contributes to regional growth.”
